Mindful Stroll & Forest Bathing in CATOR PARK (dog friendly)

ParkBathe is a citizen-science project providing mindful walks and nature connection as a means to improve the health and wellbeing of people who might not normally engage in wellness activities. ParkBathe uses aspects of 'forest bathing', forest school and mindfulness and involves walking slowly in a local green space whilst noticing our surroundings (no water is involved!)

The 1 hr guided sessions consist of small groups (max 12 people) in Cator Park run in collaboration with the Friends of group. You are welcome to bring a well behaved dog on this session if you wish (on a lead and remember poo bags !) humans without dogs of course very welcome !

We are an entirely voluntary run project and these sessions are offered free with the option to DONATE. We ask you to pause a moment before you book and consider if you can afford a donation ticket today. Donating allows us to continue providing these walks to those who cannot afford to pay.

We welcome new Ambassadors to help us out on walks ! Email for an information pack to parkbathe@gmail.com

For guidance on what to donate and our policy head HERE.

* We suggest you book up to 3 sessions so you gain the accumulative benefits and learn the techniques for yourself. Wear warm layers, sturdy shoes and wet weather gear as required (we go out in the rain!). Pls bring water/snacks/suncream according to season.

MEETING PLACE: The Children's Nursery on Aldersmead road, Cator Park BN3. Here is a precise what3words address, made of 3 random words.
